ABOUT THE WINE
Born into a grape-growing family, Don Lewis spent 32 years working for the Mitchelton winery in Heathcote, where he forged an enduring partnership with Narelle King. In 2004 Don left Mitchelton to work as a consultant, most notably in Priorat, Spain. His time in Europe cultivated his fascination with the wines of Italy and Spain, and in 2006 he and Narelle set up Tar and Roses in order to show how these varietals could be grown in the diverse terroirs of Central Victoria.

We had recently had a bottle of this wine at a restaurant, and loved it. The bottles from Friarwood were equally good - supple, with dark fruits and tobacco. Perfect with the lamb!
home of shiraz - however, most australia shiraz are big and jammy. This wine offers great freshness and acidity that its definetly a pleasant surprise. Will be back
